Description

A large and vigorous grower with charming fragrant flowers that are so profuse they cover the foliage, the ‘Mayleen’ Montana Clematis will always have you eagerly anticipating the arrival of its bloom. In late spring to early summer the anemone-like, deliciously vanilla scented flowers open pink and age to blush pink with darker bars. The attractive bronze-tinged foliage of ‘Mayleen’ creates interest all season. A vigorous grower that will quickly cover large supports such as pergolas, arches, fences or walls to a height of 20 to 30 feet if the support structure is that tall. Mayleen Clematis is a winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 20 to 30 feet in height and about 10 feet wide, the Mayleen Montana Clematis is ideal for growing on arbors, pergolas, fences, trellises, arches, tall obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, fragrance gardens, pollinator gardens and pink theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 10 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

The Mayleen Montana Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest a minimum of 4 hours direct sunlight per day for best flowering and overall performance. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 1

Clematis in pruning group 1 flower on last year’s wood and therefore should not be cut down to near ground level (especially montanas, armandii, chrysocoma and gracilifolia which can be killed by hard pruning). They should be pruned as soon as possible after they finish flowering. Avoid pruning them after the end of July, so they have time to produce next year’s flower buds before winter sets in. This group should be lightly pruned to remove all dead and wispy growth. Additional pruning can be performed to remove three or four year old wood to reduce the bulk of the plant. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds.
